Table 2.
Recommendations for the four stakeholders.
| Stakeholder areas | Characteristics in management styles | Recommendations |
|---|---|---|
| ① Government policies | -In terms of public and private relationships, government institutions have often dominated the activity of private institutions in the field of disaster management. | -The MPSS has to include not only three major groups (firefighters, civil engineers, maritime policemen) of professionals but also the other professionals into its human resources. |
| -The MPSS must change its politics-oriented management into risk-oriented management. | ||
| ② College curricula | -Each college department has maintained that its own subject or area of expertise is what disaster management is all about. | -Each college department has to provide multidisciplinary courses to their students. |
| -College departments must systematically include the concept of emergency managers as a new breed of professionals into their curricula. | ||
| ③ NGOs' emergency-manager certification | -Many NGOs have recognized the significance of emergency managers as evidenced also by certificates they issue to many individuals. | -NGOs must further consider changing the requirements on issuing their own certificates on emergency management. |
| -NGOs may ask training applicants to provide documents on multidisciplinary experience as well as to pass multidisciplinary courses. | ||
| ④ Mass media coverage | -The authorities of mass media have not played a significant role in collecting and then broadcasting information on emergency managers. | -Various mass media need to seriously cover the importance of emergency managers in Korea. |
| -Mass media may cover what similarities or differences exist between Korean emergency managers and a Certified Emergency Manager. |
